Save Money With An Eyeglass Repair Kit
Eye glasses can be a considerable investment as most
eyeglasses have to be custom made to your specific
requirements. Eyeglass frames and lenses do not come cheap,
and add to that the cost of making eyeglasses, and you can
be shelling out a substantial amount for a pair of
glasses.
So, if your eyeglasses happen to break, then you may be
in for more expenses. If the lens of your eyeglasses
breaks or if the frame itself is broken or bent out of
shape, then you may have to get your glasses repaired by
an optician. However, it could need just some minor
repairs, which you can do yourself.
An eye glass repair kit, which is available at
most pharmacies or general stores, can help you to repair
minor problems in your eyeglass frame. You need not take
your eyeglasses to the shop to be repaired, and can save
some money in the bargain.
Simple Eyeglass Repairs
Here are some simple repairs that you can do on your
eyeglass frame by using an eye glass repair kit:
- Check to see if the hinge in your frame has loosened
or stretched out. If it has, then you can fix it by
bending it back into shape with the help of a pair of
pliers. Ensure that the tips of the pliers are covered
with tape so that they do not scratch the frame or the
lens. You can even use a small rubber ring, which is
included in most eyeglass repair kits, to hold the loose
hinge in place.
- Another problem with your eye glasses may be the
metal hinge breaking off from the frame. If such is the
case, then you can repair your eyeglasses with a little
fast-holding glue. Put a tiny amount of glue on both
parts of the broken hinge (after clearing away any
remnants of old glue), and then stick the hinge back in
place.
- Loose screws or lost screws can also cause your eye
glass frame to break. Loose screws can simply be
tightened into place with a screwdriver from your eye
glass repair kit. For lost screws, use a replacement
screw from your eye glass repair kit. If the replacement
screw does not fit, or if you do not have one, then you
can use a tiny safety pin. Push the pin into the hole
for the screw and shut it. This should work as well as
any screw.
- Fast holding glue can also be used in eyeglass frame
repair if you have an earpiece that does not stay in
place or one that has completely come off the frame. Use
the glue to simply stick and fasten the earpiece back
into its place.
Thus, by using an eye wear repair kit, and some do-it-yourself
tips as above, you can save yourself a trip to the repair
shop, not to mention some money as well.
